Unfortunately todays stage will disappoint in regards to crosswinds I think, too many teams want a sprint stage, especially Quickstep, which usually try to do something in the wind. So only if some GC teams without a sprinter want some action then it will happen.

The sport is hugely popular in Denmark, they used to dominate amateur cycling in the postwar era before the Eastern Bloc countries started to solidify. Probably the only thing that stops Denmark from being one of the pillars of the sport's high level races is the lack of variety in the terrain and that when it comes to that type of racing, the Netherlands got there first in establishing its elite calendar.

We need Carlsberg to get their act together and do a Platinum Race.

Even if Quickstep want a sprint with Jacobsen, they always try something in the wind if there is the slightest chance

Apparently all the Danes with a bicycle went to the the harbor. There all Danes with a boat apparently took 10 Danes without a boat out to the see. And apparently now all of them are trying to make some crosswind at that famous bridge. I just hope they parked their boats at the right one.

Just when you admire the spectators for not running on the roads...
The exhibitionists are out and about, today. Still, it seemed a modest display. :tongueclosed: ... But really, the crowds are great. Also, a beautiful day.

I don't think there are bonus seconds for intermediate sprints

Btw, it is strange that Pedersen is not interested in the green jersey...
Not that out of reason considering that this year's Green jersey contest might get battled out at the rear of the bunch once they hit the mountains,
